Esprit de Tablas Blanc Tablas Creek

The 2014 Esprit de Tablas Blanc is powerfully fruity and floral on the nose, with a powerfully exotic nose: ripe melon, honeysuckle, vanilla bean, mace, and a little savory cedar spice. The mouth is rich and characteristically Roussanne, with flavors of baked pear, creme caramel, and baking spices. The acids build on the finish to a mango-like intensity. A fascinating, structured Esprit Blanc that should be a pleasure to watch evolve in bottle.
